André Goussaert is one of those pioneers whose adventures have been forgotten if not for the discovery of the correspondence he had with a Quebec writer in the 50s and 60s. This former missionary Oblate recounts the rapid transformation of the Inuit way of life, and its growing involvement in the development of communities which then organized into villages. It reveals a portrait of a Far North united and enterprising, despite the challenges that still threaten the fragile social and economic balance.
